Area forecast discussion, Mar 29, 2:55 PM CST, 1 hour 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 355 PM CDT Wed Mar 29 2017 .DISCUSSION... Surface low near the Oklahoma/Kansas border southwest of Wichita will move northeast overnight. Weak dryline/cold front is moving across northeast Oklahoma at this time, and the potential still exists for a few strong to severe storms east of this boundary over the next few hours. However, the greatest coverage of severe storms will likely be east of our forecast area. Thursday will be a cloudy, raw day, with the possibility of a few showers across northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. Temperatures will struggle to warm much at all during the day, with some places likely not even reaching 50 degrees. A rapid warmup begins Friday and continues Saturday ahead of the next storm system that will result in another round of showers and thunderstorms late Saturday into Monday. This system will take a southerly track, so the severe weather risk in our area will be quite low. Locally heavy rain will be possible however. Another upper system will follow quickly on the heels of this one Tuesday and Wednesday. Moisture return will be limited, but the strength of the system dictates at least a mention of showers and thunderstorms around Tuesday night of next week. Stayed close to guidance temperatures the next couple days, with the much colder NAM and ECMWF MOS numbers preferred for high temperatures Thursday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

ONSET...Ongoing. SIGNIFICANT WINDS. RISK...Limited. AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. DISCUSSION... An elevated risk of severe thunderstorms, including the possibility of a few tornadoes, will be present through early this evening. The main risk area will be roughly east of a line from Gentry Arkansas to Whitesboro Oklahoma. The atmosphere over eastern oklahoma and western Arkansas continues to de-stabilize this afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected to increase across extreme eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas through the early evening, with some of the storms potentially becoming supercells in a highly sheared environment. Any supercells will have the potential for all modes of severe weather, including isolated tornadoes. The greater threat for significant severe weather appears to be farther east. In addition, scattered thunderstorms remain possible across northeast Oklahoma as an upper level low passes nearby. A few of these cells could produce small hail. Storms will end from west to east this evening as the strong upper storm system continues to move east. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THURSDAY through FRIDAY...No Hazards. SATURDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential.
